Amazing Adventures starts at 5:00 am with the respective pick-up from your hotel, arriving in the town of Mollepata around 8:00 am, where you can have breakfast, use restroom facilities, and more. The transportation will then continue the journey to the town of Soraypampa, where the hike begins towards the Humantay Lagoon for about 2 hours to observe the turquoise lagoon beneath the snow-capped mountain. Later, we’ll have lunch at Salkantay Pampa before continuing uphill for about 2.5 hours to Pampa Japonesa. In the evening, we’ll have dinner around Pampa Japonesa. It is recommended to wear warm clothing as the campsite is located at 3900 meters above sea level.

We start the day with a wake-up tea and breakfast, continuing the uphill hike, passing through Pampa Japonesa and reaching the Inca Chiriasca pass at an altitude of approximately 5000 meters, where we’ll get a glimpse of the local flora, fauna, and the Soraypampa Valley. After descending for about two hours, we’ll have lunch. Continuing the hike, we’ll catch a distant view of the Inca Canal, which was constructed during the Inca era and will be our campsite for the second night. Dinner will be served in the evening. Recommended: Bring winter clothing.

We start the day with a nourishing breakfast, observing part of the Traditional Inca Trail, a variety of lush flora and fauna, pleasant warm climate, magnificent Inca architecture at Llactapata, and unforgettable landscapes until we reach km 82, the starting point of the Inca Trail. From there, we’ll board a local transportation to reach the train station in Ollantaytambo. In the afternoon, we’ll have dinner. In the evening, we’ll board the train to the town of Machu Picchu, where we’ll stay overnight at a hotel.

After breakfast, we’ll take the Consettur bus according to the scheduled entrance time to the Machu Picchu site. We’ll have a 2-hour guided tour of the site where you’ll learn about Inca culture and visit the designated areas. It is recommended to choose routes 1, 2, or 3 (subject to availability) and if you intend to visit the Huayna Picchu mountain, make an advance reservation (subject to availability and regulations set by the government) as the visit will be self-guided for the mountain climb. After coordinating and completing your visit to the Machu Picchu citadel, we’ll take the Consettur bus to have lunch in Machu Picchu Pueblo (lunch at your own expense). In the afternoon, we’ll board the train for the return journey to Ollantaytambo.

In Ollantaytambo, a transfer will be waiting to take us back to Cusco by bus.
